Foreign body - Glass: Where is the piece of glass that you think may be stuck in your skin? Depending on where it is, you will need to see a specialist to examine the affected area and determine if there is glass in that area. Many specialists may be able to determine if you have glass by a clinical exam and may even be able to remove it painlessly.
